I received a gift cert to the local (West Acres, Fargo) mall.   I am
considering purchasing a sprayer to paint my tractor.   However, the only
store in the mall that has such items is Sears.   They offer the Craftsman
line (aka Crapsman, although I do purchase their hand tools) and a
DeVilbiss (sp) model (which model escapes me right now).   My question to
those in the know is:  Should I get the DeVilbiss?   Should I just use my
gift cert to purchase some more hand tools and look for a better deal
somewhere that specializes in these things?   What sprayer is the best?
What items should one look for in a sprayer?  I have air, so that is not a
big concern.   I realize that HVLP is probably the way to go, but my budget
(and the purchasing dept/wife) probably won't allow that.

Thanks for any info.
